Service directive: Balancer algo

Sets the request balancing algorithm to use. Allowed values for algo are:

random

Use weighted random balancing algorithm.

iwrr

See Balancer, for a detailed discussion of these algorithms.

This statement overrides the global Balancer statement (see Balancer).

Service directive: IgnoreCase bool

Ignore case when doing regex matching (default: ‘false’). This directive sets the default for the following service matching directives: URL, Path, QueryParam, Query, StringMatch, as well as for the DeleteHeader modification directive.
